Self-threading screws are designed to cut their thread into the material they’re being screwed into. This makes them a convenient option when you don’t have access to a tap or die set and need to create a threaded hole in a material that would otherwise be difficult to thread. Electronic and automotive fastenersCommon examples of […]

Metal fasteners are an integral part of manufacturing, construction, and even simple day-to-day applications from simple staples to heavy-duty attachments used in aerospace manufacturing. Metal fasteners are usually separated into two distinct groups – those that produce a permanent bond and those requiring either a releasable or a sliding bond. Examples of metal fasteners that

Threaded fasteners are among the most commonly used for assembling components due to the ease in which they can be installed and uninstalled as needed. There are three main types of threaded fastener; Bolts, Screws and Studs. Bolts have a head on one end (this is usually a hex head) and are threaded on the

What are nuts used for? Both the bolt and the nut grip the materials being fastened, creating a bolt joint, with the nut also preventing axial movement. The effect of the bolt joint comes down to the axial clamping force provided by the nut and the shank of the bolt, which acts as a rod

Fastening with NailsNails are one of the easiest methods of joining two or more pieces wood. Most commonly made of steel, they are also available in a wide variety of other materials that are designed to combat corrosion and to increase their holding capacity. In order to get the best join when using nails, it

1. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BOLT AND A SCREW?Bolts and screws can both provide a secure hold in fastening applications. However, these fasteners are not the same. Usually self-tapping, a screw features a helical groove wrapped around a shaft. The threads of the screw mate with the material it is turned through to

Nuts are industrial fasteners with a threaded hole. You can attach them to bolts, screws, or studs to offer holding force and thwart axial movement. A good example is where you insert a bolt through two parts that have aligned holes. Then you screw a nut onto the bolt. The bolt’s shaft will help to prevent

Generally, the connection between bolts and nuts has self-locking properties, and will not loosen by itself when subjected to static loads and small changes in operating temperature. However, under the action of shock, vibration or variable load, and when the working temperature does not change much, this connection may become loose, affect the work, and

Precautions for the use of self-locking safety nuts1. Control the quality and design of self-locking parts and mating parts within the applicable standard thread specifications. 2. According to the instructions in the installation data, counterbore the female butt joint or chamfer the end of the male butt joint. 3. The mating parts must be clean and

What are the galvanizing methods for common safety bolts and safety nuts? 1. Hot-dip galvanizing Hot-dip galvanizing is also commonly referred to as hot-dip galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanizing is a process and method in which pre-treated steel parts are put into a molten zinc solution to form a zinc and (or) zinc-iron alloy coating on the surface
